Bologna sold by N.J. company recalled due to ‘misbranding'
Gaiser's European Style Provisions has issued a recall for nearly 150,000 pounds of bologna due to misbranding, health officials announced Friday.
In total, 143,416 pounds of the New Jersey-based company's ready-to-eat bologna is being recalled because it contains 'meat or poultry source materials that are not declared on the product labels,' the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Safety Inspection Service said.
The recalled items include 'Family Tree bologna veal' containing undeclared pork, 'Babushka's recipe chicken bologna' containing undeclared pork, 'Fancy Bologna' labeled with pork but containing undeclared beef and chicken, and 'Gaiser's Russian Brand Doktorskaya Bologna' containing undeclared beef, as well as other products.

The products were produced between March 20 and June 20 and were distributed to wholesale and retail locations nationwide.
The issue was discovered following a complaint through the Office of Inspector General's hotline and found that the products contained source materials that were not declared on the label.
Health officials said no adverse health effects are expected for the recalled products, and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption.
Anyone who purchased the products are urged not to consume them and throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
